Carlos Sainz hands IndyCar champion F1 ‘different monster’ warning

Carlos Sainz has warned that Formula 1 is a "different monster" to
IndyCar, following rumours surrounding a switch for Alex Palou. 
Palou recently sealed his fourth IndyCar title and his third in a
row, triggering rumours that Red Bull could be interested in the
Spaniard partnering Max Verstappen.  The IndyCar champion's
management quickly denied the rumours; however, a move to F1 for
Palou was still discussed on media day at the Dutch Grand Prix. 
Several drivers, including Sainz, were asked if Palou would
transition well into F1 should he ever make the switch.  A regular
point was raised across the board but explained in the most detail
by Sainz, who highlighted the significant difference between F1 and
IndyCar. Sainz has been hugely impressed by how Palou has dominated
the North American series, but is unsure how he would do in the
pinnacle of motorsport. "I can only say what I see in IndyCar is
that he's doing an incredible job," Sainz told select media,
including RacingNews365 .  "F1 is a completely different monster,
both as a driver, as a car, but also as a formula it's very
different, I think, from anything else.  "So it's impossible to
predict how good he would be in Formula 1. I can only say that in
IndyCar, he's just doing things incredibly.  "He must be doing
things really, really well to dominate the way he's dominating in
such a competitive category."
